Michael Keene, frequent speaker at many New York libraries and museums and producer of several award-winning history programs, has announced his latest offering, “The Psychic Highway”, scheduled for viewing on YouTube Premier, Thurs. April 1st, 2021, at 11:00 a.m.
It delivered people to important places for important reasons, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Seneca Falls for history’s first women’s convention, to Rochester to meet and support abolitionists Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman, to witness the Fox Sisters summon spirits, or maybe people on the temperance bandwagon hurrying to the Burned Over District so Charles Finney could save their souls.
The Psychic Highway intertwines the origins of the Erie Canal with the historical, religious, and social issues of the day.
The program is free but registration is required at michaeltkeene.com/registration
